How to Lay Artificial Grass

Do I need special tools for laying artificial grass?

Very few tools are needed for laying artificial grass. But a sharp knife (Stanley knife) is a must. Artificial grass comes in rectangular sections and will almost always have to be cut to size. The fabric and/or base layer is also cut to size using a sharp knife.

If you are using self-adhesive tape to glue the seams, you do not need any tools. But if you are using separate glue and seam tape, you will need tools to mix the glue and a palette knife to spread the glue onto the seam tape.

When adding filler sand, specialists use a special sand spreader cart. This is not something that most people purchase. Instead, you spread the sand evenly over the surface by hand.

If you prefer not to lay the artificial grass yourself then ask your local artificial grass supplier for a professional installation service.
